Welcome to the top 50 AK smile

Someone mentioned earlier that Anne didn't get coverage apart from an occasional mention in The Times. This appeared in today's edition of the DM.

nice one Anne that improved 1st serve % in the 3rd set must have made a differance

S&V · Club Coach

Id planned to watch the live scoreboard but work reared its ugly head so very, very happy to log on to see this. Way to go Anne.

Thanks for that. Good to see a mention for H & H in the "popular press", too!

* Agree about the comeback, even though, on the basis of her seeding, she should have been expected to triumph in the end! smile

You'd of thought the BBC Sport page would of used a different headline for Anne's win http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/7900685.stm - they've used this title for every win so far!

biggrin Well done on making the top 50 and the SFs Anne. smile Great to see a Brit making such significant strides in the rankings.

Wozniacki has just won 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 against Krajicek so:

SF: Anne Keothavong WR 52 v Caroline Wozniacki (DEN) WR 12

The match is 4th on the Stadium Court with play starting at 4pm GMT; but the only live streams from Memphis this week are the mens matches unfortunately (and strangely).

DUSTY DICK · Club Coach

Well done Anne on another semi final spot.
Would love to see her make her first tour final but the next match will be tough.
Fingers crossed. biggrin

steven · Tennis legend

I wonder how many of us even dreamt that Anne would push on into the top 50 so fast after she reached the top 100. biggrin

I hope Boggo's watching and thinking "this could be me!" (and I don't mean by switching to the women's tour LOL)

I know. If someone would have said 12 months ago we had a top 50 player i would have laughed first then i would have presumed it was Naomi Cavaday.

Its good to see the rest are climbing aswell and its not just Anne on her own, for long anyway.

DUSTY DICK · Club Coach

Azarenka into final.

What day is this match? I can't find anything about it today, though the result of the other semi is up.
